I like Rasputin's because they have a lot of 12" vinyl -- promotional copies, a decent selection of old and new house and electronica, the occasional hard-to-find single. The only thing is that it's…

I've only gone here for records, so that's what this review covers. The selection is really stale, and you'll rarely find a stack of new arrivals. The only upside is that the old soul records tend…

Not as good as it's sister across the bay but a great store. The Employees don't seem to have whatever ails the kids at Amoeba and I don't feel like LP (loss prevention) is following me around all…

This place feels shady and creepy to me. I'm just not into music stores, I guess, and this one is at the bottom of my list. Ummm, iTunes Music Store, people (or Amoeba).

the selection is not as wide as amoeba [there was bound to be a comparison] but the prices cannot be beat. their used section can be quite expansive sometimes and the staff that work the elevator is…

Rasputin, I prefer it over Virgin records! And sometimes you can find a random nugget here, which is not too bad. I still go to Amoeba because it's easier to get to for me.

I don't know. Maybe I'm not cut out for music stores. Maybe I spent too much time working for Napster and now I have to actually preview all my music before I buy it. Maybe I have ADD and can't deal…

I love to buy things from guys in straggly beards. Granted, id prefer it to be CD's and DVD's over single shoes and spoon rings, but hey, they world is my bowl of mustard. Lick it up, LICK IT UP. I…

I usually go here for the used dvd's/cd's. The selection can't compare with Amoeba's though. I only gave it 3 stars because its a better place than the abercrombie & fitch stores of downtown and I…

This is a great place to dig for records. All the good used vinyl is just an elevator ride away. Head to the back corner where you can find plenty of used Reggae, hip-hop, and soul records for cheap!

Pretty decent music store - considering the other option downtown. I'd rather go through the Used selections - or spend less with the discount card on new CDs - than go to Virgin Mega most times.

One of the few edifices I ever enter in the Union Square area, it's got a slightly difficult layout, but the CD and Vinyl selection makes up for it. Take the elevator or "Transporter" to any of the 3…

Not as good as the Berkeley location, but in Union Square you don't have much choice. I think their used music section is hard to beat, except of course by the awesome Amoeba!

I must say, I think I like the store in Berkeley a bit better. But I always come out with a CD I didn't intend on buying... and I almost always end up liking it.

Where I go when I'm downtown. Just as cool, with decent selection and comes complete with indie snobs that can't cut it at Amoeba.

It's a tribute to how thoroughly Amoeba has won the record-store war in SF that no one in here has even touched Rasputin--I suspect a lot of people don't even know about their SF location just off…
